TAKING HIS LIFE.

Mr.. Smith, 1 called to see if /
could take your life. You see,
Pm
'Wh-what dye say?' exclaimed
Smith, in some alarm.
Il say that I've come round to
take your life. My name is Gum.
When I heard you were unprotected,
that you had nothing on your life, l
thought would just run in and set
tie the matter for you at once.
Then Smith got up and went to
the other side of the table, and said
to himself
IT'S lunatic who has broken out
of the asylum. He'll kill me if l
halloo or run. l must humor his
fancies.'
Then Gum, fumbling in his
pockets for his mortality tables, fol-
lowed Smith round the room and
said,-
You can choose your own plan,
you know. It's immaterial to me.
Some like one way, and some another.
It's matter of taste. Which one
do you prefer
I'D rather not die at ALL said
Smith, in despair.
But you've got TO die, of course,
said Gum. That's thing there's
no choice about. All can do is to
make death easy for you-to make
you feel happy as you go. Now
which plan will you take"
Couldn't you postpone it until
tomorrow, so as to give me time to
Think
No; prefer to take you on the
spot. l might as we'll do it now as
at any other time. You have wife
and children?'
Yes; and think you ought 10
have some consideration for them,
and let me Off.
well, that's curious kind of an
argument said Gum. when L
take you, your family will be per-
fectly protected, of course, and not
otherwise
But why do you want to murder
me!'
Murder you! Who is talking
about numbering your
why didn't you say
Il called to get you to take out a
life insurance policy in our company,
and
'Oh, you did, did you?' said
Smith, suddenly becoming fierce.
well, amt goin' to do it, and l
want you to skip out of this, or I'll
brain you with the poker. Come,
now, skip
Then Mr.. Gum withdrew, and
Smith is still uninsured.
